To calculate the pH after adding 0.02 mol NaOH to 1 L of 0.1 M NaC3H5O2, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is relevant. The addition of NaOH will affect the equilibrium between the sodium salt and its conjugate acid, requiring an understanding of the resulting concentrations. Clarification on the terms of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and the reaction between NaOH and NaC3H5O2 is necessary for accurate calculations. The discussion emphasizes the need for a step-by-step approach to solve the problem effectively. Understanding these concepts is crucial for determining the new pH of the solution.

Homework Statement


This question refers to a previous question in my book: Calculate the pH of .1 M NaC3H5O2. The question I'm stuck with now: Calculate the pH after .02 mol NaOH is added to 1 L of the *previous* solution.

Homework Equations


The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation or the simple equilibrium equation has to be used here.


The Attempt at a Solution


I don't know where to start actually...please help :)

Write out the Henderson Hasselbach equation and tell us which terms you don't understand. Write out the equation for the combination of the two reagents and tell us what you don't understand.
